Exegesis
The phrase mê-ʾereṣ miṣrāyim {מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם | mê-ʾe-reṣ miṣ-rā-yim} ‘from the land of Egypt’ specifies geographical origin, while miḥiyyôt lā-hem ʿăvādîm {מִהְיֹת לָהֶם עֲבָדִים | miḥ-yō-ṯ lā-hem ă-vā-dîm} ‘from being slaves to them’ conveys the prior condition via an infinitive construct.
In context — Leviticus 26:13
I am the LORD your God , who brought you out of the land of Egypt from being slaves; and I broke the bars of your yoke and made you walk in uprightness.
